The case of Katlego You, as a member of the school-based
support team (SBST), peruse a class teacher’s observation notes
on a learner. The learner, Katlego, has to repeat Grade 1. He is an
only child and both his parents are successful professionals. When
Katlego’s teacher raised concerns about his lack of progress, his
parents appointed an au pair to assist with his care and
homework. However, the teacher is still concerned and discusses
her observations with you. She wrote the following: • He is well
groomed. • His drawings are exceptional. • Sudden disturbed
muscular control or awkwardness or clumsiness and a lack of co-
ordination, which do not correlate with his usual actions. He
stumbles or bumps into things or drops them. • He sometimes
inexplicably feels strange in an environment which should be
familiar to him; for example, he cannot open a door which he is
usually able to open (he turns the handle the wrong way). •
Associated movements e.g. if he is busy drawing, his tongue
makes strange accompanying movements as well. Or if one hand
is moving, the other hand also makes the same movements. 20 •
Achievements fluctuate – especially an inconsistent memory.
What he knows one day, he forgets the next and the day after he
suddenly remembers again. • Signs of confusion without any
reasonable cause. He suddenly appears disorientated; it looks as
if the familiar environment of the class is strange to him. •
Sometimes he stops writing. After a while, when he continues, his
handwriting is very untidy. • He often does not finish
assignments. • He daydreams and fails to concentrate. • He is a
loner and often fights with other children. • Sometimes simply
“difficult” behaviour. • He cannot read sight words and still
sounds the words. Question 1 Taking the case of Katlego as
described above into account, hypothesise (speculate or
brainstorm) about possible risk factors (as briefly discussed in 3.2,
LU 3) that may cause or contribute to Katlego’s lack of progress
and challenging behaviour in Grade 1. Structure your answer as
follows for each of at least four (4) hypotheses: - State the
